Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In binaural synthesis, listeners' individual head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are necessary for highly-immersive spatial audio. Since HRTF measurement is generally time-consuming, it will be helpful if high-resolution HRTFs are interpolated from a small number of HRTFs obtained by a simple measurement procedure. One of the established HRTF interpolation methods is the method based on spherical wavefunction expansion, which allows estimating HRTFs at arbitrary direction and distance in a simple manner; however, its interpolation accuracy deteriorates as the number of measurements decreases. We propose a deep-neural-network (DNN)-based HRTF interpolation method combining the representation using spherical wavefunction expansion and meta-learning. Since meta-learning simulates the process of interpolation from a small number of measurements to learn DNN using training data, the proposed method will stably estimate HRTFs even when the number of measurements is insufficient. Experimental results indicated that the proposed method achieves high interpolation accuracy compared with the current method when the number of measurements is small.
